Lagerfeld receives the Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards. For more than fifty years, Karl Lagerfeld has remained a formidable force in the fashion industry and has taken the reins of numerous iconic houses, such as Chloé and Fendi. Behind the dark sunglasses, the polished suit and the flawless hair behind the international fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld was an incredible human being. Karl Lagerfeld, one of the world's most acclaimed fashion designers, was born in Hamburg, Germany.
Twelve years later, the former editor of T-Magazine magazine, Stefano Tonchi, reflects on a unique scrapbook he once received from Karl Lagerfeld. KARL LAGERFELD is committed to providing you with the best possible shopping experience, whether you shop online or in-store. Considering the impact that Karl Lagerfeld had on the fashion world, it's surprising to hear Stefano Tonchi say that he rarely thought of his friend as a fashion designer. Lagerfeld was born on September 10, 1933 in Hamburg, the son of Elisabeth (née Bahlmann) and businessman Otto Lagerfeld.
